scary movie

so collin went to his first movie today. it did NOT go well. The movie was free and, according to the website, is first come, first serve. we needed a booster seat so we wanted to call to find out what time, realistically, we needed to be there to get that; when Jared called they said to be there b/w 9 and 9:30. so...we arrive shortly before 9:15 and end up heading into the theater around 9:35 or 9:40. Collin did well at first but was starting to get antsy about the time the movie started. i had toys and books and we got popcorn so i was able to distract him for a bit but, around 10:45 it just got to be way too much so we headed out. I was pretty disappointed b/c I was hoping that we could make this a weekly outing. I may try again either next week or the following...since it's free there's no real loss, especially since it's nearby.

so nervous...update

okay, so now i'm even more nervous b/c i've committed to becoming a thirty-one consultant. (i even have my first party scheduled...thanks courtney) i am absolutely TERRIFIED! i am not a great public speaker and am scared that i'm not going to do well. i do not do very well w/failure. jared seems to think it will be really good for me to do something outside of collin and dlg...something's that's just for me. we'll see. guess if it doesn't work out at least i'll get some nice stuff as a souvenir of this endeavour.

so nervous...

so i hate putting myself out there b/c of fear of rejection but i bit the bullet, so to speak, and emailed most everyone in my address book to see if they would be willing to host a party for me if i start selling the thirty-one bags. i hate feeling like a stupid high school kid. i shouldn't be worried about this kind of stuff at 31. oh well...fingers crossed that i'll get at least a few responses.

it's hot

so i thought this was a dream but since jared heard it too i know that it wasn't but...i woke up this morning to hear collin tell one of his many stuffed animals, "hi puppy. it's hot." too cute.

my little athlete

Collin and Daddy playing baseball for the first time.

He wasn't too sure about what we were trying to do but loved throwing the ball and running with the bat. :-)

Do you want to play ball with me?
